HPE ProLiant DL385 G7 2U rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server built around two AMD Opteron 6274 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.20 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR3 memory and a Serial Attached SCSI controller supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. The chassis provides eight internal 2.5-inch bays and one external 5.25-inch bay.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense core counts

This server suits teams consolidating workloads onto a dual-socket AMD platform with 32 total cores and room to grow memory to 512 GB across 24 slots. Buyers who want more storage bays than the nine provided, or who require a different processor architecture, should look at something else.

32 GB DDR3 with 512 GB ceiling

The installed 32 GB handles light to moderate virtualisation and database tasks, while the 24 DIMM slots give headroom for large memory footprints. The SAS controller manages RAID arrays across the internal bays, but the eight 2.5-inch slots limit raw capacity compared with larger drive cages.
